'Broken—I hadn't been myself for a long time. The enemy had me stuck with blinders, and I denied that there was the sin and shame from my past I never dealt with. How much could I refute it before my life's miserable existence bested me? I was in that drowning thought of nothingness, forever trapped as my course of life was not worth enduring.' When Erica realizes there's been the constant turmoil within her marriage, and her relationship with God was in the most trouble, getting back into a right relationship with Him is her aim. Amid all, she identifies something has to give. Erica sees her life and the lives around her shift forever. As she contends with lust and emotions, an old boyfriend shows up at an espresso shop she frequents, and he's what she's yearned for in a believing spouse. The battle is on when her husband divorces her after winning the lotto. She leaves California and heads to Georgia to get a fresh start with a new career, but murder and mystery interrupts her new beginning, when a missing teenager is dead in a drain at Carter's Lake.Erica finds that following wise counsel, God's counsel, is the best thing she can do to make it through what's happening to her. 'I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons' (Psalm 16:7, NKJV). 3
